St Bernard's very own Jack Cassidy (Year 10) represented Victoria in U18 in a National event against Tasmania during the term holidays, after 3 intense days of bowls the boys squad went down by the narrowest of margins.
Fortunately there is a silver lining, as a reward of how well Jack played and how good a player he has become, he has officially been chosen in the U18 Victorian State School squad!
An amazing achievement and fantastic to see Jack's hard work pay dividends
